Another thought. With the new wall definition tools in X17, when you build your wall definitions, assign the "exterior" and "interior" wall layers to unique display layers, like this: Here I assigned the Exterior Layers to Walls, Facade; then is any 3D view simply turn off the Walls, Facade layer and you will see what is underneath, such as the wall framing, or the restrained masonry infill, or whatever.

Chief Architect isn't well suited to RC structures with restrained masonry, so you will have to make some compromises. However, unless you need to show the RC structure and the infill in 3 dimensions, like your attached image, then I suggest setting up your floor and foundation defaults for the horizontal concrete elements, and your exterior wall types (with exterior cladding and interior finish) for the masonry portions. Show the vertical concrete elements in plan view by using concrete "posts" or by using a CAD object, and adjust your building sections, etc., with CAD objects. But, if you HAVE to show the 3D, it can be done by not including the exterior materials in your wall definitions:

OP, The plan file you zipped and uploaded is not the same as the your screenshot.

No idea, but I doubt it. It was created during the Carter years but wasn't enforced state-wide until the 2000's. It's a Frankenstein: our UDC is written into the Wisconsin Administrative Code, so any changes are an act of legislation - much more difficult than simply adopting a model code by reference.

Wisconsin uses its own residential code called the Uniform Dwelling Code. It's quite abbreviated compared to the IRC. Whenever there is talk of adopting a model code, there is tremendous resistance from contractors. It's also very difficult to enact code changes due to a convoluted legislative process.

Open the Layout Box object and make sure Poche Walls is unchecked.

I guess it must be my eyes playing tricks, it's just very difficult to tell from the angle. My apologies.

Renerabbit, can you accomplish that while keeping the 12" eave overhang at the intersecting roof plane?

I don't think you can get what you want with auto-build turned on because Chief's logic can't resolve the intersection with the garage eave.

Then select the wall that you want to reduce the overhang, and: Wall Specification>Roof>Overhang>Length

Default Settings>Roof>Roof Overhang>Gable Set the value to what you need, taking into account the thickness of the exterior wall finish.

That warning doesn't help you find the specific Layout Box that contains the missing detail that is throwing the error. Remember to turn "on" the Layout Box Borders layer, then page through the Layout to find any "empty" layout boxes.

You can accomplish this with pony walls. Define two wall types: 1) the lower wall type will include the framed knee wall; be sure you set the knee wall layer to framing and set up the particulars in the dbx 2) the upper wall type is just your basic concrete wall, no knee wall framing Next, select your foundation walls and turn them into pony walls; set the Elevation of Lower Wall Top to the thickness of your floor framing (I-joist + subfloor), this will build the lower wall type with the knee wall to just beneath the floor framing: Build Framing and cut a section to see the result. Of course you have to set up your stem wall height, define the foundation walls so the floor hangs off the inside with a ledger, etc.: This gets you most of the way there. Auto-detailing isn't 100%, it details the knee wall as concrete, but you can easily fix that manually.
